BlackBerry Bold Touch promo video leaks out

Of all things remaining that could have possibly leaked for this device -- this pretty much takes the cake in our opinion. In any event, the bove video is what is reported to be the promo video for the yet-to-be announced BlackBerry Bold Touch. Enjoy it while you can folks, we're guessing this one won't last very long on YouTube. Of course, by all means -- drop some comments on what you think about the direction RIM took with it.

Well, I dont know if its just me, but it doesn't even show its touch capabilities in the commercial. Same old blackberry stuff. Don't get me wrong, I am stoked for the device, but surprised at the commercial. It DOES show its thinness though, which looks quite impressive at how thin it is. It also shows a teaser of the NFC. Oh well, release it already! :)

I agree, but is this really a commercial? A commercial that says nothing, no voice over just a bunch of flying icons. I gotta think this is a concept ads not meant for the public or as an ad doing just what it's doing now... keeping the BB faithful waiting.

Love the form factor of the phone. Love that it is not a full screen wanna be (although monaco looks fab I have to say). I think these phones are for BB faithful. The OS7 (QNX) phones will mark a new day for BB.

And you're NOT helping the security of their jobs, their trust in your mouth - nor RIM's stock price … ALL factors of our happiness. But hey I'm sure many are thankful of you stating that.

Either way a few things I'm hoping form BB6.1:
- better VPN access to intranet shared drives and Sharepoint URL & data within (access & modification and upload).
- Bring back the LOCK button. RIM you emblazoned the LOCK icon as a dedicated key make it EXACTLY that … LOCK the unit! Mapping another soft key or 2 key action is NOT a solution and this borders on false advertisement; even the manuals haven't been updated on the Torch or 9780.
- Make these new devices to SING on QNX firmware coming late 2011/early 2012 PLEASE!!!

I HAVE to agree with you, especially from a cost perspective for me. I love my 9650, and I have actually really liked OS5 on my device (again, for me). I have tried OS6 and didn't really like it on my phone. But 6.1 on the Bold Touch, yeah, I will give it a go.

So I am up for renewal/my last NE2 in May. Combine that with the BB Tradeup Program and I think I can net the Bold Touch for a decent price. My assumption being this:

2 year price - NE2 - Tradeup Quote

$199 - $30 - $95 = $74

That would be a great price to me for the Bold Touch.

My NE2 is due on May 5, so that means I would have until Nov. 5 to use. I think prior to using it on the Bold Touch I would have to think about what MIGHT be coming not too far beyond that. While the $30 is nice, I would be willing to forego it if there was something that I would like better. But I love the 9650 so much I think the Bold Touch would be great for me too!

And here is why..as a rule with any new product I buy, I wait about a month for the reviews to come out and the customer complaints (if any) and then I make my decision to purchase..this new Bold Touch looks really sound and in my experience with BB, the Bold series seems to be RIM's 'executive-esque' device, solid for the most part. I've been through Curves, Storms and Bolds - Bold is my best friend..I have the white T-Mo 9700 and I love it. I can't wait to hold the Bold Touch..T-Mobile better have this device..it will be the ultimate sidekick to the PlayBook..Congrats to you, RIM! It looks like 2011 is your year - xoxo ;)
